Kobe Bean Bryant (born August 23, 1978) is an American professional basketball player who plays shooting guard for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Bryant enjoyed a successful high school basketball career at Lower Merion High School, where he was recognized as the top high school basketball player in the country. He decided to declare his eligibility for the NBA Draft upon graduation, and was selected with the 13th overall pick in the 1996 NBA Draft by the Charlotte Hornets, then traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. As a rookie, Bryant earned himself a reputation as a high-flyer and a fan favorite by winning the 1997 Slam Dunk Contest.
Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal led the Lakers to three consecutive NBA championships from 2000 to 2002. A heated feud between the duo and a loss in the 2004 NBA Finals was followed by O'Neal's trade from the Lakers after the 2003–04 season. Following O'Neal's departure Bryant became the cornerstone of the Los Angeles Lakers franchise. He led the NBA in scoring during the 2005–06 and 2006–07 seasons, setting numerous scoring records in the process. In 2006, Bryant scored a career-high 81 points against the Toronto Raptors, the second most points scored in a single game in NBA history, second only to Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game in 1962. He was awarded the regular season's Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) in 2008. After losing in the 2008 NBA Finals, Bryant led the Lakers to two consecutive championships in 2009 and 2010, earning the NBA Finals MVP Award on both occasions.

Plot: Three years ago, in real-life, Hama Ali, a charismatic actor from Iraq famous locally for his performance as Iraq's version of Superman, met Ayca on a film-set. He and Ayca, a fiery actress from Turkey, had a passionate love affair before returning to their respective homes. From his Kurdish village, Hama Ali sends Ayca video love letters which he has filmed on his handycam. She watches them from her sofa in Istanbul, with her cat for company. The video love letters capture the hellish violence engulfing Iraq, the goats and uncles populating his rural area, and also his tender affection towards her. Feeling suffocated by her own city and angered by the indifference towards the war that surrounds her, Ayca decides to make the journey eastwards to Iraq to be reunited with her lover. GITMEK, a dramatic feature film, is based on the true story of Ayca's departure from Istanbul and her extraordinary journey to the Iraqi border. At a time when many people were fleeing from East to West in search of safety, Ayca makes the opposite journey, in search of love. She is helped by immigrant artists who live in the slums of Istanbul and the mothers of long distance truck drivers who she meets at various border towns. The journey takes her through breathtaking landscapes, strange encounters and terrifying times.

mine as well
And if I could explain it any better, I'm sure I would
We're in a bus and it's night, you opened up and so
will I
But though I'm good with words, I've never been good
with words
But all I know is there's something new this year
All I know is there's something new real near
There is a town that I live in and it's a town that
favors winners
And when I win I think about when I'll next lose
I took a train that took me north
And it's the place where trees speak louder than the
people
But if I have to pick that's what I'll choose
I walked along the river Ume, it chilled me out of my
bones too
But a cold wind is always better than a cold voice
I am not strong enough for win city, I'll stay in to
play Sin
Witty people without hearts have always had a lead on
But all I know is there's something new this year
All I know is there's something new real near
All I know is there's something new this year
I don't know much, but there's something new coming
near
I'll walk into the shop where you work, it is a shop
that kills you slowly
There'll be no blood but another shirt on a hanger will
still behead you
I'll lift your arm and you'll lift mine, and in a
Communist state of mind
We're not worth more than anyone else but surely not
worth less
And all I know is there's something new this year
All I know is there's something new real near
All I know is there's something new this year
I don't know much, but there's something new coming
near
All I know is there's something new this year
All I know is there's something new real near
All I know is there's something new this year
